THANE: The patient died allegedly because the hospital failed to facilitate his transfer to a private hospital. Although Indate died in January, the doctors — the head of the hospital and the surgeon on duty — were suspended only on Thursday, after the issue was discussed in a pre-budget session of the state legislature.

On Thursday, Dr Manohar Bansode and Dr Aishwarya More were served their suspension orders for allegedly violating the Maharashtra Civil Services (Conduct) Rules of 1979.
